Fiberglass Coated Solid Foam CoreFi

Fiberglass Coated Solid Foam Core
Fiberglass coated solid foam core can most commonly be seen in surfboards. The surfboard design can withstand large amounts of buoyant force and can travel at fast speeds. The design of the surfboard has a large flat water contact surface, about 30 inches wide, which provides stability and low drag. Surfboard designs also include underwater

fins to provide added speed achievement. Due to the solid foam core and the various fiberglass layers, the surfboard design can have a weight up to 35 lbs depending on the length and size of the board. A surfboard floatation incorporated in a hydrofoil bike can be seen below in Figure 4.
